Answer:

The answer to your question is 22.5 moles of H₂SO₄

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

moles of H₂SO₄ = ?

moles of Al = 15

Balanced chemical reaction

2Al + 3H₂SO₄ ⇒ Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂

To solve this problem use proportions and cross multiplication. Use the coefficients of the balanced chemical reaction.

2 moles of Al ------------------- 3 moles of H₂SO₄

15 moles of Al ------------------ x

x = (15 x 3) / 2

x = 45/2

x = 22.5 moles of H₂SO₄

-Conclusion

22.5 moles of H₂SO₄ react completely with 15 moles of Al.
